Okkthar United 0-2 Yadanarbon FC (Yan Paing 9' (pen), 40')

Yadanarbon advances to the final of Myanmar National League Cup 2009, by "winning" the league round with 17 points.

Comments by Yadanarbon's coach Rohan Girard. (Translated from soccermyanmar.com)

"We had many chances and could have scored 4 or 5 goals. But like the teams we've played before, Okkthar is difficult to play against. Although the young Okkthar players are not experienced, they were able to give us a good game. We did very well in the second half, such as our passing game. Yan Paing wasn't feeling very well, he recovered only 3 days ago. You can tell from his game. However, with some good opportunities, he was able to score goals. Because Okkthar's players are young, they had physical advantage. Even though it seems like all hope is lost for them to win, they continued to give their best tirelessly. The final, whether it's against Yangon or Magway, is going to be a tight and exciting game."

Magway 0-1 Kanbawza (Soe Min Oo 70')

Kanbawza destroys Magway's hopes of reaching final. Magway finishes league round in 3rd position, Kanbawza finishes 4th.

Yadanarbon 1st, Yangon 2nd.

Final on July 5th

Yangon United vs. Yadanarbon

Now that MFF and government would not be fussy about players playing abroad, myanmar players could see some offers in future.

Yan Paing and Soe Myat Min were approached way before and then MFF took a long time to come to a decision and lost a few opportunities.

Such as this. Before Tiger Cup '04 when Soe Myat Min showed more.

Myanmar football will never improve with this mentality.

Thai Premier League club Muang Thong United signs Yan Paing, in an exchange with Burkina Faso player Valery Sanou.

Further information on fees and contracts are hard to find.

Finding information on these news is really hard.

Looks like the Thai forums are following MNL with latest updates and discussions.

They also covered the league even before it started.

With all respect to their open-mindedness.
